Community Tasting Note

Westgate Wine Store Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 5, 2020 - This is Cluver’s "Spatlese" style – a bit sweeter, but still positively tingling with minerality and acid cut. The International Wine Review rates it 91 points, saying:

The best Riesling we've tasted from South Africa, the Close Encounter is a lovely wine. Very fresh and intensely fruity, it shows honeyed apple aromas and flavors with mineral notes. High natural acidity keeps this wine tasting fresh and dry despite quite high residual sugar. A great wine for spicy Asian fare.
